The film will feature interviews with a massive cast of Screw-influenced collaborators, friends and artists. Lil ‘Keke, Rick Ross, Bun B, Megan Thee Stallion, Lizzo, Solange, Travis Scott and many more are included.

As shown in the trailer, the film will also touch on Screw’s friendship with the late George Floyd, whose death galvanized protesters to take to the streets around the world in 2020.

“The idea of ​​telling the story of DJ Screw is as important today as it was during his passing in 2000. A story about overcoming opportunities, racial injustice and inspiration for many,” Yowman told Billboard. “This film will show the power of a man who prevailed over the adversities that covered his community and used his experiences to create a legacy that lives today. Screw’s impact on Southern culture is no secret, but his influence on global music is an untold story. “

Screw, a Houston music scene legend, died at the age of 29 in November 2000.

Chopped and screwed: The final mixtape will be launched at the end of 2021.
